T. O. Moore - b. 4-10-1804, d. 6-25-1876Governor of
LA, 1860. He was a die-hard secessionist, hopeful of playing a leading
role in the new nation to be formed of Southern states... With the
political network Moore commanded with Pierre Soules' support,
secessionist sentiment prevailed even though Union sympathies were at
least equal or stronger. [Rapides Parish: An Illustrated History by Sue

A database for the cemetery has been established which includes
transcriptions from all markers, records from St. James Episcopal Church (owner
of the cemetery), books, newspapers, and family records. This information has
been gathered by Arnetta Gravier and Elaine Hicks and is available upon request.
There are over 1,700 records which are continuing to be updated as information
becomes available.
